Identification of ambient temperature-responsive lncRNAs. a. Example of a lncRNA identified in our strand-specific RNA-seq experiment. Protein coding genes and lncRNA are shown in grey and black respectively. In blue are reads mapping to the forward strand and in purple are reads mapping to the reverse strand from RNA-seq on plants growing at 16 °C in short day. b. Heat map showing lncRNA that are significantly (adj p-value < 0.01) differentially expressed (log2 fold change > |1|) in at least in one time point upon a temperature change from 16 °C to 25 °C. c. Histogram showing the number of lncRNAs whose expression is up-regulated and down-regulated at each time point after the temperature change. d. Venn diagram showing the overlap in differentially expressed lncRNA at each time point
